The Trinity's Sweet Spot
One Sunday afternoon, my five-year-old, Elizabeth, showed me a ring with three parts to it. I asked her what it meant.

"It means the Trinity, Dad," she said.

"And what is the Trinity?" I asked.

She pointed to each of the three parts and said, "This is God the Father. This is God the Son. And this is God the Holy Syrup!"

My Mother the Adulteress
My young daughter stunned me one Sunday on the way home from church when she blurted, "I told my Sunday school teacher that you are an adulteress."

When I could breathe again, I said, "Why would you say that?"

"Because you are!"

I took another breath and asked for some clarification, "Do you know what adulteress means?"

Squaring her shoulders, she said proudly, "I figured it out all by myself. It means, 'female adult.'"

When I met her Sunday school teacher again, I told her, "I won't believe what my daughter tells me about you if you don't believe what she says about me."

Pssst! Did Ya Hear the One About …
I was teaching Sunday school, and I asked the kids to look up passages in the books of Mark and John. They were having trouble finding the books, so I gave them a quick refresher: "The New Testament starts with Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. These books are referred to as The Four …"

I paused, waiting to see if any of them could fill in the blank. My 10-year-old son, Benjamin, was up to the task.

"They're called The Four Gossips!"
